Anyone noticing an erratic idle? Mine goes down to 500 rpm and seems to overcompensate back to around 2000 rpm before settling back at around 1100 where it normally is. This happens quite often.

Does it only happen when you give it gas and let it drop to idle? Or does this happen constantly while its idling?

 

[jrmy]

It happens pretty consistently while at a stop without touching the gas, depending on how long the stop is it can occur more than once.

I feel my engine rev a bit rough at idle and not very stable at rpm from time to time
But i guess it might be because it's still in breakin period

Mine is like that too. Idle at the stop light idle goes up and down 500rpm and 800rpm.

 

[keroppi]

Yeah, mine also go up and down between 500rpm and 800rpm at stop light and park (idling).

I have the same issue. I am going to pick up my all weather mats today and will be asking the service department about it.

Let me know what you hear back. Seems like a situation that is occurring on more than 1 vehicle.

I don't think thats something that would happen during break-in. Might be a real problem or maybe something with decreasing fuel consumption.

Awesome! Please let us know what they say.

Ours is still at break in with 500 miles and we have not had any problem with the idle at all. Very smooth and consistent. Agree with Infiniti_speed...sounds like a real problem to have them look at.

Hey BTW, other than the original poster 'jrmy', the few of us having this problem appears to be all in Canada.
I suppose US model and Canadian model are identical mechanical-wise, but just want to point out a common factor here... or perhaps Nissan USA decided to send their lemons up North to us?!

Well at least yours is running good and it's not every JX out their. Maybe a specific production range of JX's have this problem? Usually the US gets cars before Canada, Canada's batch went bad lol

Im thinking is a specific production range of JX's with this problem. I wonder what the dealership has to say about this.

 

[bauce]

It should be a production issue at this point..

 

[keroppi]

I just called the local dealer service department but they're not very helpful about this issue. They're not known to this apparently common issue and just suggested me to bring in the JX for investigation.
I will update on this forum about what they will find out.

 

[keroppi]

I finally brought my JX into service to look at the unstable idling rev problem.
At first the dealership tried to blame on aircond compressor on and off as the cause
But since i showed them that the rough idling happens even when aircond is off, now they
say it is fixed by reprogram the engine management program... so it is a software bug?
I will get the car back tomorrow and will keep you guys posted

Interesting. Not very comforting but I'm interested to know what the problem is. You aren't the first person to notice this issue.
